把心收在一處專想阿彌陀佛就對了 - 第107集
Focus our mind on chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name and we are on the right track
「大悲慈父」,這是阿彌陀佛,興起無緣大慈,「垂茲」,垂慈,「奇妙方便法門」。這就是說阿彌陀佛大慈大悲,這個慈悲沒有起心動念,叫無緣之慈,完全從真心、從自性裡頭流露出來的,這就是信願持名往生淨土的法門。
“The great compassionate father” is Amitabha Buddha. “He developed unconditional compassion and introduced this marvellous and expedient method to us.” This is saying that Amitabha Buddha is extremely compassionate and merciful. It is called ‘unconditional compassion’ because this compassion is fully expressed from the true mind (i.e., the true nature) and has no thoughts in it. This method is chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name with belief and vow to be reborn in the Pure Land.
「指方立相」,指定西方,樹立形象,西方有極樂世界,極樂世界有阿彌陀佛,讓我們「攝心專注」,把心收一收,收在一處,專想阿彌陀佛,專念阿彌陀佛,一心希求極樂世界,這就對了。
“This method is about setting the mind on the Western Pure Land and establishing an image” -- there is the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west and there is Amitabha Buddha in this Land. This method tells us to focus our mind on chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name and single-mindedly seek rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. We are then on the right track.
